Light Frigate Schematic

Finally getting to the military side of Dark Space's ships.

This military Light Frigate is the most common sight in the navy. Designed for escort duty and patrols, it is also the second-smallest capital ship in use.

This well-armed vessel carries fifty laser and machine gun point defense weapons, six heavy triple-barreled rail guns, and six multi-missile pods. Defensive shielding protects the Frigate from most attacks, but it is vulnerable in the underside and rear, as there are few defensive guns in those areas.

A sophisticated communications array and sensory relay allows the Light Frigate to contact vessels that aren't in direct line of sight, as well as tag threats more easily. The crew of a Frigate often sees danger coming before other ships do. It doesn't carry any fighters, so it must rely on other ships and its own defenses in combat.

Powered by a thirty-engine stacked setup, the Light Frigate is quite fast, despite its size. It can easily outrun pursuers and maneuver quickly, allowing it to outperform most heavier vessels.

This Light Frigate and Dark Space universe are mine.
